A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Obsidian, Zettlr, and Logseq live in the category of local plain-text file-based PKMs.
Trilium lives in the category of local database-based PKMs.
The reason the first category exists is that people wanted to get out of vendor and file lock-in.
Apples and oranges.
Having been through the enshitification of Obsidian, it was important to me and many others to be not beholden to any vendor's file system. Your database requires Trilium to be instantly usable. My notes are useful and usable (and frequently accessed) from Logseq and VSCode.
The two options are simply not comparable, hence apples and oranges.
